Enjoy Spectacular Sunset Views ☀️ On True Lakefront

Amenities include a brand new 600 square foot deck with unobstructed views of the Fox Chain O' Lakes for the grill-master to enjoy. Only 25 steps away from the home are 2 private 24' docks for those evenings when you want to catch the moonlight off of the water or fish. With 175 feet of private waterfront, our floor-to-ceiling bay window will lend a stunning lake view and has built-in bench seating surrounding a custom-built table designed to accommodate 8 people with 4 additional counter stools that surround the kitchen island.
We have a completely renovated, raised ranch-style home with an open concept including an updated kitchen (with all the amenities) and living room. The master bedroom features a brand-new king bedroom suite with walk-in closet (smart TV). The second bedroom has a queen bed with nightstand and a chair 1/2 twin sleeper featuring direct lake views out of 5 of 7 windows (smart TV). The main floor also has a remodeled bathroom with shower. Also remodeled is our lower-level, featuring a sectional sleeper, a bedroom cove with 2 twin beds accompanied by a trundle unit, updated second bathroom with shower, and a laundry room.
Take a paddle on 1 of 2 kayaks (included) or enjoy conversation around the nice firepit to talk about your memorable day on the lake or your activities in downtown Fox Lake which is only a half-mile away! We have plenty of space in the back yard to set up for a corn-hole tournament or other outdoor activities to keep you outdoors when you are not on the lake.
Summer fun: You will be a 25-minute drive to 6 flags or spend the day at the beautiful Chain O' Lakes State Park which is only an 8-minute drive. The home is also in close proximity to a beach with a park for the kiddos! Head downtown and grab an ice cream, take in a movie at Fox Lake theatre, or browse the local shops.
Winter fun: Whether its snow skiing at Wilmot Mountain which is only a 12 minute drive, Snowmobiling, or Ice Fishing, there are plenty of memories to make!
The Chain O'Lakes, or simply "The Chain", is a waterway system composed of 15 lakes connected by the Fox River and man-made channels. Encompassing more than 7,100 acres of water, 488 miles of shoreline and 45 miles of river. There are too many restaurants to mention with boat access located on the Chain however we are very close to El Puerto Mexican Restaurant which is a local favorite. Enjoy Blarney's Island which feature a restaurant, bar, and live entertainment daily in the summer and only accessible by boat!

An absolutely perfect lakeside setting!
We truly enjoyed our five night stay at this Chain O'Lakes jewel. Everything was perfect, from the well-appointed kitchen to the corn hole pitch and the lovely outdoor living room complete with net curtains to keep the bugs at bay. There were so many little extra touches that made the stay even more memorable. Plus we had a blast puttering around in the TriToon. Five stars all the way!

Family Vacation
The property was in very good shape and very well equipped. As advertised, right on the lake and in the center of Fox Lake recreation region. Stores and dining within short drive or walk. Nearby public park that features summer Friday concert series. We had a great time evenings by the fire pit, picking dinner options, taking a boat out for a day. We had 6 adults total for most of the 10 days we were there, and didn't feel crowded. Easy parking right outside for 3 cars, a 4th would fit too. Kitchen is well equipped you shouldn't need to bring anything, outdoor gas grill. Beach towels, some outdoor toys, kayaks, outdoor and indoor board games. We brought our own firewood, but there was some there. Nice outdoor porch sitting and dining area. For locals, the Chicago Metra train stop is 1/2 mile away, it made getting all of us there easier.

Perfect weekend getaway.
Our family of eight recently enjoyed the perfect getaway at a stunning lake house, and it was an experience we will cherish forever. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty and charm of the house and its surroundings. The house itself was nothing short of amazing. Spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed, it quickly felt like a home away from home. The deck was a favorite spot for all of us, providing a serene setting to relax, enjoy meals, and take in the breathtaking views of the lake. One of the highlights of our stay was the incredible sunsets. Each evening, we gathered on the deck to watch the sky transform into a masterpiece of colors, reflecting off the calm waters of the lake. It was a magical experience that brought us all closer together. The fire pit was another fantastic feature. We spent our nights gathered around the fire, roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, and simply enjoying each other's company. It was the perfect way to end each day, with the warmth of the fire and the peaceful sounds of nature surrounding us. On Friday night, we ventured to the nearby park and were delighted to find a band playing live music. It was a wonderful surprise that added an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip. We danced, sang along, and created memories that will last a lifetime. Overall, our stay at the lake house was everything we had hoped for and more. It was the perfect setting for our family to relax, reconnect,

Cozy waterfront location in Fox Lake
Property is better than described in listing - there is nothing that needs to be added or improved. It’s a perfect location on the lake and close to many restaurants and bars. Also, great for children and pets. Kirk and Laura were very responsive and communicative which we appreciated. We look forward to returning when the weather warms up.

Perfect Getaway House!
This is a perfect getaway house in an ideal spot on Fox Lake. Right on the water with gorgeous views in all directions. Great deck and yard with anything you'd need to maximize your fun and comfort. Lots of parking. The house itself is so cozy and comfortable, clean and updated. Really great use of the space and every amenity has been provided, and then some. Super nice hosts with great communication. If you're considering houses on the Chain of Lakes, I don't think you'll do better than this one and we can't wait to return!

Perfect Lakefront House.
We had a phenomenal stay at Kirk & Laura's lake house with our family of four (and dog). The hosts are very responsive and wonderful communicators. Everything is updated, comfortable and super organized. The hosts have definitely put thought into providing whatever you could need (& then some) to make your stay easy. There was a welcome basket with assorted snacks, which our kids LOVED. Not sure why but someone else's snacks always taste better. We took advantage of renting the boat and exploring the lake, which was super fun. Appreciated the cabana on the porch where I could have shade while enjoying the view. Lots of places to walk to within a half mile. We walked to El Puerto restaurant, the Tuesday Farmer's Market and downtown Fox Lake. There is also a long stretch of bike/walking trail that starts in the downtown area that we used often during our stay. We also enjoyed the kayaks in the morning when the water was calm. The kids also got a kick out of the huge family friendly DVD collection. You must bring your water shoes if you want to go into the lake by the house since there are rocks and some glass. We loved everything about this trip and this lake home. Hope to return next year.

Perfect for Rest and Relaxation!
The lake house was the perfect, peaceful setting for a group of 5 of us to rest and relax. We awoke each morning to the beautiful view of Fox Lake framed by the picture window, sat on the deck all day for conversation, meals, and reading. This home, particularly the bathrooms and kitchen, was the most thoughtfully well-stocked with supplies and appliances—it felt like we were in our own home. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, the fire pit for roasting marshmallows, and the kayaks provided. The binder on the kitchen island was chockful of helpful activity and restaurant recommendations, and we referenced it frequently. Thank you for making our annual friends’ reunion a great one!
